multidimensional array and foreach

[EftheM]

hey, please check this code:

$poll = array ( "options" => array ( "option1", "option2","option3"),
                  "votes" => array ( 40,20,10)                  
                );
foreach ($poll as $value) {
    echo $value[0];
} 

this results in output "option140"

now if I want to display it like (for instance):

<input type=''text" name="option" value="option1"><input type="text" name="votes" value="40">

where as the next foreach would result in option2 and votes "20"

how would I manage this? thanks in advance

I think you should re-arrange you array:

$poll = array(
   0 => array(
      name => option1,
      value => 40
   )
   1 => array(
      name => option2,
      value => 20
   )
   2 => array(
      name => option3,
      value => 10
   )
); 

Now your foreach is easier:

foreach($poll as $array) {
    $name = $array['name'];
    $value = $array['value'];
    echo "<input type=\''text\" name=\"option\" value=\"".$name."\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"votes\" value=\"".$value."\">";
}

	$poll = array (
		"options" => array ( "option1", "option2","option3"),
		"votes" => array ( 40,20,10)                  
	);

	$option_num = 0;
	foreach ($poll['options'] as $option) {
		echo "<input type='text' name='option[]' value='$option'><input type='text' name='votes[]' value='" . $poll['votes'][$option_num] . "'><br/>";
		$option_num++;
	}

thnx guys.. I try to look on both solutions for implementing in my script.

ok, the option of gavwvin works for me the best, since that is the way I get result from my query..

now how can I turn around the foreach...?

when I have two arrays

$array1 = array ('option1','option2','option3');
$array2 = array (40,20,10); 

how to get one array like

 $poll = array(
   0 => array(
      name => option1,
      value => 40
   )
   1 => array(
      name => option2,
      value => 20
   )
   2 => array(
      name => option3,
      value => 10
   )
); 

[gavwvin]

for($i=0; $i<count($array1); $i++){
 $new_array[$i]['name'] = $array1[$i];
 $new_array[$i]['value'] = $array2[$i];
}

tthnx!! that works..

well as I am building up my script here, I have another question on multi dimensional arrays.

if I have an array that consists of 5 other arrays... how would I remove one of these arrays if it was empty?
